ooppss... i did it again

Oppss... I did it again. Well, there is double meaning here. Firstly, yes, I went MIA for a while. I sincerely apologize for this.... I was working on so-called a ssecret project which now it is not the right time to share anything about it yet. Believe me, I wanted to share with you but... I just can't. Once the timing is right, I will definitely share with you. Secondly, I bought a pair of vintage Bally shoes in one of the vintage stores in HK. My heart dashed into tiny pieces when I learnt that my vintage Ferragamo is wearing out and it is time to buy a new pair. Not sure whether it was pure luck, coincidence or fate, I came across a lovely pair of vintage Bally shoes in my size in a vintage store when I was so-called window shopping few weeks ago! Kind of perfect timing as well. Anyway, what do you think of my addition?

pictorial: a short trip to Taiwan

 

Here, I am sharing some photos of my brief trip to Taiwan in July. Visited the Ocean World and Yehlie Geo Park and few other places. It was good trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Felt like a student again when I was in the ocean world. So excited seeing the exotic fishes or other ocean creatures. Yehliu Geo Park is an interesting place with breath taking view of the sea, good place to snap photos. Can you guess the last photo - what does it look? 

I'm back!

Hi all! I am back! Hope you are well and having a great summer (or winter, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere). Sorry for being hiatus over the past two months. Besides occupied with work (as usual, the lame excuse...) I was away for a short break and also moved to another place away from the city - somewhere in my opinion it's better than the previous place. Just a quick and short note to show that I have forgotten Colourful Buttons readers (hhmm... if you are still following CB). 

Anyway, enjoy the rest of the weekend and stay chic!

interesting book: lessons from madame chic

Happy weekend! Sorry for missing in action lately. Besides occupied with work, I have started reading again and I have finished reading this book a while ago. There are some great advices, tips and insight of French lifestyle or culture. Interesting book, I would say. It covers diet and exercise, style and beauty, and lastly how to live well, the French way. I indeed would try some of the advices or tips. I guess when I was in my 20's it was time to focus on studies and work. In 30's it is about to find the real purpose of life and to live it passionately and fully...And this is the reason why I bought and read this book.

If you need a good read and looking for a change, this maybe the book for you.... Have a great weekend.

summer outfit wishlist

Here is another summer outfit wishlist. First set is casual wear suitable for thrifting adventure or exploring the city. If there is any cocktail party to attend, I would definitely wear the second set of outfit. I love the clutch, it is so adorable. As for the last set, it is very demure and ladylike, suitable for brunch or tea with girlfriends. An afternoon of chatting to catch up with each other.

Weekend is around the corner... Any exciting or interesting plans for the weekend?
